Philodendron Golden Goddess 7 Inch, Pre-Planted

Instead of traditional soil, this plant grows in LECA (Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate), which are clay pebbles that wick water up to the roots. This system helps prevent overwatering and root rot while providing consistent hydration, making it an excellent choice for those who struggle with soil-based watering schedules.

Because the LECA system is highly efficient, you typically only need to refill the reservoir when the water level drops significantly. Depending on your home's humidity and light levels, this usually amounts to checking the water level every one to two weeks.

No, the Philodendron Golden Goddess is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best to place this plant on a high shelf or in a room that your pets cannot access.

To keep those vibrant golden-yellow leaves bright and healthy, place the plant in a spot that receives plenty of bright, indirect light. Avoid direct, harsh sunlight, which can scorch the foliage, but don't place it in a dark corner, as the variegation may fade.

Your plant arrives with Complete Focus nutrients included to support its initial health. Once those are depleted, you should use a specialized hydroponic or semi-hydroponic fertilizer diluted according to the package instructions to ensure the plant continues to thrive.
